CODDINGTON NAMED GRAND MARSHAL AT LAS VEGAS NHRA EVENT

Drag racers often refer to their racecars as "hot rods" and at the next stop on the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing circuit, competitors will be able to have their vehicles seen by a guy that knows a hot rod when he sees one. Boyd Coddington, SoCal hot rod builder and star of TLC's "American Hot Rod," will be the Grand Marshal of the upcoming ACDelco NHRA Las Vegas Nationals. The ACDelco-backed cars of Kurt Johnson's Pro Stocker and Harold Martin's nitrous oxide-injected Pro Mod Grand Am also will feature the Boyd Coddington logo. [10-20-2004]
